But now the Nicaraguan Government is herding them like cattle against their will. About 20 villages in which approximately 10.000 Miskitos once lived have been emptied. Eyewitness reports tell of truckloads of Indians being deported to school buildings that are under police control. In addition. a recent State Department advisory warned that "there are also numerous though unconfirmed reports of repressive tactics by government forces." I do not intend to label the actions of the Sandinistas an act of genocide. Genocide is defined specifically as an action committed with intent to destroy. in whole or in part. a national. ethnic. racial. or religious group.
